Leonard,
The gimped string that I used was from Gamut and it was a high drone I
was thinking of adding in the Mouche position. It just sounded dead. They may
work well plucked but it sounded flat and lifeless bowed. As I said I may have
been using the wrong string for the sound I wanted but it seemed to sound
dead throughout an upper and lower range. I tried it in higher and lower key
ranges ( instead of D I tried upping it toward G).
As far as sound are you looking for a modern sound with an historic
string or a 415 to 385 range with a historic style string.
Have you asked at Gamut Strings about the over-twist string history.
Daniel seems to be a very personable man. He may have a year or era that the
string took the shape that it did.
On a side note, I just tried the varnished string and so far have found
no sound difference. I am hoping I to eliminate the fray that I was getting
(mind you this took 6 months) on the natural strings.
